Days Recap: Totally, Totally Destroyed.

Paige and JJ's date is a disaster, Daniel makes plans to leave town, as does Theresa.

(NBC Universal Inc.)

From home, Paige prepares for a date with JJ. Eve wishes her daughter would have told her Daniel used to date Jennifer. It's caused an issue because she and Dan are getting friendly. Paige says it's not her fault. Besides, wasn't she swearing off men - again? Eve muses they're just friends but Paige scoffs at that. Eve sadly admits she's not good at being alone. She tears up and then hugs her daughter. She advises Paige to be careful with her heart.

At home, JJ thanks Daniel for gifting him the guitar. He groans about Jenn and Eve's feud. Daniel heard and talks about not seeing Eve anymore since she's not his patient. JJ's glad to hear. He's hopeful Dan and Jenn will reunite but Daniel shoots that idea down. JJ's having a hard time with that, Abigail's issues and says on top of that, Paige will be leaving for Stanford soon. Daniel says these bad times won't last. After he's gone, Paige arrives and talk turns to Eve hitting on Daniel. Paige tells JJ that her mother didn't know Dan used to date Jenn. She never told her. JJ accepts that and they start going at it on the sofa. Paige remembers her mother's warning and asks JJ to stop. When he doesn't, she throws him off and runs out while he apologizes. When she's gone, he stares at his father's photo.

From TBD, Nicole approaches Jenn, wanting to talk. Jenn's not in the mood so Nicole asks what's up. Jenn mentions the lawsuit and Nicole apologizes, not wanting to add to her issues. She just wanted to say she's sorry about Jenn and Dan's break-up. Jenn's not sure if she believes it but right now doesn't have time to figure it out. Nicole's trying to atone for her actions - which is more than what she can say for Jenn. They bicker and Aiden breaks it up. Nicole wonders if Jenn really isn't good enough for Daniel. She goes and Aiden tells Jenn next week they'll know if they can get the case thrown out. Jennifer's appreciative of his time. He says this case is good for him right now.

Eric kisses Bishop White's hand at St. Luke's and looks grim. The bishop tells him his case took an interesting term. Though he doesn't doubt Eric's innocence, the case has been heavily scrutinized in the media. Because of this, a drastic step has been taken. Later, Eric is shaken. His Excellency says if he does what is asked of him things may work out in his favor. Eric wants to discuss it with Brother Timothy first. Eric goes and Nicole arrives at the bishop's behest. He asks her to go with Eric to the Vatican to help clear his name.

Brady sits with John at the hospital and begs him to wake up. "I can't lose you." Maggie arrives and Brady blames himself. She hugs him. He cries that he has lost control. He's been to several AA meetings and isn't even tempted to drink. Maggie can see he has hit rock bottom. She's proud of him. He's floored she's so supportive. In the community room, Theresa makes a desperate call to Anne to get home from the HR retreat. Victor shows up. He knows she manipulated Brady into marriage and he won't rest until she's "totally, totally destroyed." She reacts with righteous indignation and he calls her on it. He'll make sure she doesn't get a dime of Brady's money. Brady and Maggie interrupt. Maggie leads Victor away and Brady assumes his grandfather threatened to destroy her. She grins. She can handle him. Brady suggest they annul their marriage and go their separate ways. She's surprised. He's trying to stay sober. She drums up some tears. Abe meets Maggie and Victor at the hub. He's looking for Brady. Daniel arrives and takes Maggie home while Victor hopes Abe's not there to arrest his grandson. Brady intervenes. Abe says he could be charged with attempted murder. They'll know more tomorrow when the final forensics results are in.

At the mansion, Daniel says he is off to a medical conference and may take Parker to see Melanie. He tells her about unintentionally hurting Jennifer who caught him hanging out with Eve. Maggie gasps. He says not to worry. He's got Eve's number. He leaves and runs into Jenn. It's uncomfortable. He goes and Maggie tells her about Daniel's travel plans.

At the pub, Eric tells Caroline about his meeting with the bishop and that he has to see the Pope.

I must admit DOOL is the best soap now. I'm tired of the unfinished s/l on Y&R, GH and B&B aren't interesting. Thanks DOOL for making me love soaps again!!!!

DOOL is definitely better than GH, which has really been boring for some time.

I don't like the way Paige blamed JJ for not stopping things.... He did stop when she told him to. She got so carried away, making him feel like scum. Then, I noticed that everybody in Salem, or at least half the population, is going to L.A. on vacay. Wonder if they're getting "group rates?" The two other lovebirds are going to the Vatican. Who's going to be left in Salem when Kristen returns??

OT ... just got done helping my daughter with her yard sale and just finished watching the show.

@cab313 I'm with you on who Kristen is kidnapping, because he is leaving town and doesn't know how long he'll be gone so no one would really miss him. But he said he was going to talk to Chloe about taking Parker to visit Melanie. Just hope someone will contact Chloe to see if Dan talked to her about taking Parker to visit Melanie. Well we shall see shortly how this story line plays out in the next couple of weeks.

Abe told Victor and Brady that the forensics are still putting things together so I hope it leads to that someone hit John from behind and is right handed. Because I do think Brady is left handed. Glad Brady talked about an annulment today. About time he has woke up and that Theresa isn't good for him.

I missed this to say it in time. Yesterday was John Aniston's (Victor) 81st birthday. Happy Birthday Mr. Aniston. I always look forward to seeing you on the show.

Wonder how long it will be before Melanie shows up in Salem. Dan mentioned Melanie again today in his conversation with Maggie. Since Melanie has been refered to several times in the last few weeks, surely she is on the way. Especially now Gabbie,and Nick are gone, and very soon Sami, EJ and the children will leave. So it makes sense for Melanie's return.

Monday will be the return of the Dragon Lady. Sorry, I can't see that she will outsmart her intended victim, (maybe if a different victim was chosen who wasn't as smart).

Are they going to do any better than that for what happens between Paige and JJ? Where is this story going? Dunno.

I don't see Teresa heading to LA. I wouldn't be surprised if Anne does scurry back to Salem as Teresa demanded, that Anne puts a stop to that plan. But why? What could these two come up with now?

Ok, good Bishop is saying Nicole should go to the Vatican with Eric. And the vicinity of the Vatican has something to do with another couple. I don't know if I want to see that scenario. Yawn. Alright. Good night.

Myladytn~~~~ this may be a SPOILER~~~~~ so you may choose not to read the reply.

Possible SPOILER: and in the vicinity of the Vatican, another couple. That couple could be Sami and EJ back together and they honeymoon in the vacinity of the Vatican.
